Historic Maine Home for Sale Has a Castle Pretty Much in Its Backyard [PHOTOS]
You may have seen our coverage of the mysterious remnants of a castle that overlooks the charming coast of South Freeport, Maine.
Well, we have an update: You can now live in the home that sits directly in front of the castle's tower.
Let's take a step back. The castle remnants we are referring to were part of the striking castle-themed hotel that was built in South Freeport, Maine by Amos Gerard, in 1903. Sadly, the resort, built to take advantage of various local rail links, was ravaged by fire in 1914, leaving only the stone tower standing. Today, the tower sits on private property but is visible from the quiet Harraseeket Road.

While the Casco Castle resort was built to look like an ancient castle, the irony here is that the house we are talking about predates the castle by almost 50 years, built in 1854. This house has seen a lot.
